In The End: A Zombie Apocalypse

~~ The House ~~

"Hey Savannah, how much longer?" Max asks. "We're close."

I'm walking alone until Mr. Ryan comes up to me.

"You ok, Mr. Clark?" He asks.
"Yeah, but I with I could see my family."
"Don't we all, son?" He winces and grabs his shoulder, the one with dried blood around it.

"Are you alright, sir?"
"I'm fine, must've pulled something."
"You sure?"
"Yes, yes, I'm quite alright."

"We're here, guys." Savannah begins to jog onto a lawn and towards a house. She pulls out a key from her bag.

We all enter her house and the last person locks the door. Savannah try's to turn on the lights, but the power must be out.
"Mom? Dad? Dylan?" She calls, but no answer. "Where ever they are, I'm sure they're ok, Savannah. But we need to worry about ourselves right now." Olivia says. Savannah gives a slight nod. We begin raiding.

Venus, Jason, and I raid the pantry, grabbing cans, snacks, and soups. Evan and Olivia take whatever they can from the fridge, Max and Charlie take plastic bottles and fill them with water (thank god the water's still running). Savannah, Mark, Kate and Lizzie go upstairs to get blankets.

Its about seven o'clock once everyone's gotten everything. We're all sitting in the living room, Mr. Ryan handing out the knives he's collected.

I take a head count. There's me, Olivia, Evan, Venus, Max, Mark, Mr. Ryan, Savannah, Denise, Jason, charlie, Kate, Lizzie, Zoë, Tim, Delilah, and Peter. That's seventeen people.

Some people have hushed conversations, most people showing tried faces.

Then something really weird happens. Mr. Ryan passes out and falls to the floor with a thump. "What's wrong with him?" Venus asks.

I walk over to him. I'm inspecting for nothing in particular when Jason whispers, "guys! Hide and be quiet! There's a whole lot of infected walking around outside! I can see them trough the window!"

Savannah blows out the candle and everyone hides somewhere in the darkness of the living room.

Except me. I still want to find out what happened to Mr. Ryan. "Lukas! Hide!" Whispers olivia from somewhere in the room.

I see his bloody shoulder and move the shirt away from it. And I find it. The bloody mark.

I dragged Mr. Ryan's unconscious body into the corner and out of sight.

He was bitten.
